First time wakeboarding... I'm hooked. Even got up first attempt. Read alot of posts telling how to get up... it's much simpler than they say... so long as you don't plow forever. Trick is to immediately turn to put front foot forward and lean a little forward until you come up. Then just lean back and enjoy the ride. If the board feels "wishy washy" or like its dragging, then tell boat driver to speed up. Other posts do point out that having elbows around front foot knee makes it easier... they are right.. Next step... 180 flat.. (tried one... ya know... lake water tastes funny when you drink it through your eye balls)....
